When Heaven Met Earth (BE)

Heaven (Paulien Iris Rondou) and Earth (Gaëtan Vandewoude) fell in love the third time they met. Unexpected. Sudden. A spark, a storm, a rush of butterflies. A leap into something new. But life wasn’t simple — it wasn’t easy to meet in person, so they met in music.


Heaven (Paulien Iris Rondou) and Earth (Gaëtan Vandewoude) fell in love the third time they met. Unexpected. Sudden. A spark, a storm, a rush of butterflies. A leap into something new. But life wasn’t simple — it wasn’t easy to meet in person. So they met in music. It became their shared space to speak, to listen, to connect. In those first three months, eighteen songs quietly came to life. Not planned — just felt. When Heaven met Earth was born in that moment. Their sound is warm, tender indie folk that moves between closeness and openness — songs shaped by longing, safety, silence, joy, and the mysterious force that pulls two people toward each other. Their debut album (expected in 2026) explores every shade of love, with delicate string arrangements by Peter Broderick — a kindred musical spirit who touches them both deeply. Inspired by artists like Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Sam Amidon, and Laura Marling, the music invites you in — not just to hear their story, but maybe to remember your own.
